Jenny's Summer Houses3

The Jenny’s Summer Houses complex leaves guests with an exceptionally pleasant impression, thanks to a blend of genuine Greek hospitality and spotless cleanliness. This cozy retreat in traditional Cycladic style earns praise for its spacious rooms and the peace and quiet that shields you from the bustle of busy resorts. The main quibbles involve only the compact bathrooms in some standard rooms and the distance from the beach, which is easily offset by renting transport.

Key Observations

Outstanding hospitality: The staff (especially receptionists Maro, Chrissa, and Nopa) receives the highest number of glowing reviews for warm welcomes, help with luggage, and willingness to share the island’s best spots.

Spacious villas: Guests who stayed with large groups unanimously call the stay in the three-bedroom Grand Villa (150 sq m) one of the best accommodation experiences in Greece.

Nuances of standard rooms: Unlike the wonderful villas, regular rooms can have very cramped bathrooms where the shower and toilet are positioned too close together.

Trajectory: Stable development. 2026 reviews show exceptionally high scores for service and cleanliness, while rare complaints about technical flaws (like traces of damp) were only in isolated reviews from past years.

Main Pros

• Impeccable daily housekeeping with towel changes, and in some rooms fresh bathrobes are provided daily.
• Complimentary access to the gorgeous pool of a partner hotel located right by the water’s edge.
• Convenient free on-site parking, a rarity and a huge plus for Mykonos.
• An excellent Italian restaurant, Sistina Mykonos, right on the premises, and a supermarket within walking distance.
• A bus stop directly opposite the entrance, making it easy to reach downtown Mykonos (Chora).

Main Cons

• In standard rooms, bathrooms are very small and not always comfortable.
• Walking to Platys Gialos beach takes about 15–20 minutes, and the way back is uphill.
• Rooms lack kettles, coffee makers, and clothes drying racks on the terraces (though kitchens in the apartments do have crockery).
• During the day, noise from passing traffic can be heard.

Hotel Overview

Basic Information:

• Name — Jenny's Summer Houses
• Transcription — Dzhennis Sam-mer Khau-zes
• Address — Platys Gialos, Mykonos, Cyclades, 84600, Greece
• Contact details — Not specified
• Year opened — Not specified
• Number of rooms — Not specified
• Positioning and category — Apartment hotel and villas in traditional Cycladic style

Description: Jenny’s Summer Houses is a charming complex of whitewashed houses offering guests comfortable apartments and luxurious villas. The spaces are decorated in a minimal Greek style with modern touches. The main concept is to provide travellers with a home-like feel, autonomy (thanks to kitchens in many units), and a high level of hotel service.

Target Audience: The complex is ideal for families with children and groups of friends who opt for the spacious villas, as well as couples who prefer to explore the island by rented car or quad bike.

Location & Transport

Location: The hotel is situated in a quiet spot on a hill between the Platys Gialos and Ornos resorts, away from noisy nightclubs, guaranteeing a good night’s sleep.

Key Points of Interest: Mykonos Airport is just 1.8 km away (about 5–7 minutes by car). Psarou and Platys Gialos beaches are just over 1 km away. Downtown Mykonos is about 3.8 km.

Transport: A bus stops right opposite the entrance, heading to the central Fabrika hub in Chora. Staff are happy to help arrange quad bikes or cars delivered directly to the hotel.

Walkability: A large supermarket is a 3-minute walk, and an excellent bakery can be reached in 10–12 minutes. Walking to the beach is perfectly feasible, but due to the hilly terrain, the uphill return under the scorching sun can be tough.

Grade: B+

Rooms & Cleanliness

All living spaces are filled with light and quality furniture. Beds are very comfortable, air conditioning works excellently and silently. Housekeeping is daily and earns top praise from every single guest. The main disappointment is the layout of standard bathrooms, which feel too cramped. In the villas, however, bathrooms are spacious and modern, each bedroom having its own en suite.

Grade: A-

Service

The staff creates a genuinely home-like atmosphere. The receptionists — Maro, Chrissa, and Nopa — quickly solve any issues, help book transfers from the port or airport, and share maps with the best recommendations. Guests note the warmth and sincerity with which everyone is treated.

Grade: A

Dining

The hotel does not provide breakfast. Apartments have kitchens with a hob, oven, and dishwasher, but groceries and washing-up liquid must be bought independently. Nearby is the Italian restaurant Sistina Mykonos, serving excellent lunches and dinners, and within walking distance, the Tayo café offers an affordable breakfast.

Grade: B

Facilities & Amenities

There is convenient parking on site. The complex does not have its own pool, but this shortcoming is fully offset by the complimentary access to the partner hotel’s pool, which is located right by the beach and offers a magnificent panoramic sea view.

Grade: B+

Important Notes

• The path from the parking to some rooms involves steps, so you’ll have to carry your suitcases by hand.
• Apartments with kitchens don’t always have basics like salt, oil, or dish soap — plan to buy these in advance.

Practical Tips for Guests

• Be sure to book a quad bike or scooter directly through the hotel’s receptionist — the vehicle will be delivered right to your door, saving you time and energy when heading to the beach.
• Ask the reception staff to mark the island’s best restaurants on a map. The tip to visit a traditional taverna in Ano Mera earned special thanks from many guests.
• If you’re travelling as a group of 4–6, book the Grand Villa — its comfort, 150 sq m of space, and three separate bathrooms are worth the money.
• Don’t miss the chance to relax at the partner hotel’s pool right on the coast — it’s a great alternative to crowded beach clubs.
• For your morning coffee and breakfast, use the Tayo café or the bakery 10–12 minutes’ walk from the hotel.

Final Verdict

Jenny’s Summer Houses is a wonderful option for those who want quality accommodation and heartfelt service on Mykonos without paying a premium for a beachfront location. The flawless cleanliness and the staff’s hospitality will make your holiday truly carefree.
